Additional Edit: Still one of my favourite places to visit when I’m in town. Just the perfect place to slowly drink some tea, and enjoy some perfect dumplings!

Came here last year with a friend, and when I’m in the area I try to come here as much as I can. I really love the dumplings here, they are really authentic and have really good flavour. There are other things other than dumplings if dumplings are not for you! The family that runs the place here are always super friendly. Definitely worth your money here!

I love this place! Consistent Mom and Pop dim sum spot in an inconspicuous area. Instead of sitting in traffic, I suggest stopping off and enjoying dinner before you continue home. This is a quintessential hole in the wall that is very unassuming, but boy does it hit the spot.

Another option: they sell frozen apps! Pick up some frozen pork buns and go home and steam them yourself for dinner, you’ll be the popular one!

We got the XLBs, string beans, beef noodle soup (we asked to make it spicy), spicy dumplings, & 3 flavor dumplings. All 5 were delicious!

String Beans- tasty, garlicky, wok fried to perfection. Great side addition to our mains.

3 flavor- great taster’s item if you can’t decide what you want. All the dim sum are well portioned for someone hungry patrons so eat up!

Spicy dumplings- Amazing! The greatness of this dish is its simplicity: the pork and Napa cabbage dumplings with spicy chili crunch.

XLB- soup dumplings are pretty standard gout a dim sum place now, but the difference here is it tastes homemade!

Beef noodle soup- Excuse me??! Did you say top tier ? Thought so… a mix of canton style thick noodles, tender tender beef in a savory and tasty beef broth. Asked to make it spicy and it was indeed spicy! I loved every spoonful.

All in all, a great great spot that not too many people would ever think to stop by, but I assure you, you’d be missing out. Skip the lines of those other popular places and come here, you won’t regret it!

Update – 11/2025: We always come here when we visit (we live across the nation) and eat dinner here and buy frozen dumplings so we can eat them later. The Multi-Layer Green Onion Pancake is delicious and fresh, crispy!

The service is great and they always remember us even though we only get to come every 6 months or so. The dining area is quite small, but it doesn’t matter – the dumplings are the best!

2024: Haven’t been able to come for a while and man, still delicious little nuggets of joy! Love these dumplings and the multilayer green onion pancake. Even my girls (7&9) loved the multilayer green onion pancake and the chicken and corn dumplings. They ate the whole dozen of them between them and a piece of the pancake each.

I ordered the 3 flavor dumplings (pork shrimp and chives) and my mom got the fish and chives.

The service was fine, though with only one person working the front she was super busy. We are patient though and got everything we ordered and ate while we were there at one of the 5 small tables.

Ambiance isn’t amazing because it’s so small and a little cramped but the dumplings are definitely worth it. The multilayer pancake is delicious and crispy as well.

I wish we lived closer but sadly I live in Knoxville so I can only come when I visit family. If you love dumplings, you need to visit the House of Dumplings. They sell frozen dumplings you can cook at home too.

I sat in the car waiting a half an hour for this place to open, and it was worth the wait.
The menu doesn’t have any pictures, but you shouldn’t worry, as there are several pictures on the wall. Also, don’t feel shy about asking the waitress for recommendations. She gave us a whole review of what’s popular for each section of the menu. Very friendly.
The food was good. You can tell the dough for the dumplings is all made in-house. All necessary dipping sauces are on the table for you to assemble your own concoction.
The place is a bit small, but I believe they have to-go orders if you can’t get a table.

This is a small, nice, neighborhood plaza Chinese restaurant with a very authentic menu that more than just dumplings. They have many traditional dishes too. If there’s something you don’t see, ask and they may be able to make it.

The beef noodle soup and soup dumplings are my favorite. My brother loves the sesame noodles, which he can’t find most places.

Dine in seating is limited to five tables, but I’ve never had an issue getting a table. They are very accommodating.

I don’t know what it is, but they have the best jasmine tea. I usually bring a container and take any leftover tea.

Great hole in the wall with authentic food at good value.

Green beans- delicious has fried tofu curd slices, which was a nice addition. Overall a bit salty but still well loved

Dumplings – excellent! Have been looking for a tong dumpling replacement since they closed, and this is my new favorite place

Hot and sour soup – pretty standard, decent size portion and had generous amount of ingredients (eg wood ear, carrots, tofu, egg)

Salt and pepper fish fillet- very unassuming and not dressed up dish, but, again, delicious

Green onion pancake- nice, thick, flaky style. Fried, so a bit oily but an absolute treat while hot

Xlb- decent, nothing to write home about but not bad

We came in pretty close to closing, but owner was nice and attentive.

My only complaint is that there was someone in the back / kitchen loudly sneezing, coughing, and clearing phlegm… which was a bit off-putting…

Anyway, still excited to come back and try more dishes. So happy to discover such a great local spot!

Great food and the lady waiting tables is the sweetest. Grabbed the pork buns and dumplings both were very good. And ended up having enough to bring home to the wife

Nice hole in the wall Chinese food known for obviously their dumplings. Next time we want to try their honey walnut shrimp. Small place won’t be good for big groups. We will definitely be back since the quality for price was good.

Salt and pepper tofu: perfectly crispy light and fresh tofu – yummm

Shanghai soup dumplings: delicious! Perfect amount of soup and meat was tasty

Dumplings: we got the shrimp pork and chives. Tastes good but too much wonton skin for my liking. Would order more soup dumplings instead next time

There’s more famous dumplings, but I’d rather go here. Mom and Pop, very small, but the best spicy wonton that I have found so far.

Dumpling House is always been incredibly good not so much fun now not being able to dine in. Staff is always very helpful and suggestive. You can never go wrong with the shrimp and pork combination dumplings and the pineapple fried rice. Online it was very simple one of the easiest place to order online food was ready to pick up as when they stated. I make this a usual stop at least once every 3 weeks
